HIGH PERFORMANCE CCD + USB 3.0
USB 3.0 for bandwidth, ease of use, and cost effectiveness
Variety of high-resolution large format CCDs
FPGA and frame buffer-based architecture for optimal reliability
The high performance Grasshopper3 camera line combines the benefi ts of CCD with
the affordability and data throughput of USB 3.0. Its FPGA and frame buffer-based
architecture provides optimal reliability, a rich set of features, and a full image processing
pipeline including color interpolation, gamma, and lookup table functionality. The
Grasshopper3 offers a powerful, easy-to-use, and cost-effective alternative to Camera
Link and dual GigE LAG solutions.
